Summary: The Stalleto worked GREAT!
Comment: My wild and wonderful daughter does Habitat for Humanity with an informal group of other wild women who call themselves "The Stiletto Group". They like the name because it calls up the immage of stiletto Ladies sexy high heel shoes. They paint the heads pink and work the bejeebers out of any old guy who shows up to laugh. My daughter likes the work, and loves the hammer. Her aged father loves anything that makes her happy.
Yeah!

Summary: I purchased this hammer when it first came out and....
Comment: I am still using my titanium(s). I started framing in 1973 starting with a TrueTemper "Rocket". The titanium waffle head is pretty much smooth now but it still has enough friction to hold onto the nail. This hammer excels at one thing ONLY, nailing. If you are framing and need to knock wood around, have a small sledge nearby. If your doing demo, get a steel handle hammer, if your pulling nails, have a Estwing steel handle, Rocket or other tank.
The claws are not designed to really seat a 16D tight deep into the claw near the head where you get maximum leverage for pulling the occasional nail The claws are not really sharp enough to really grab the shank of a 16D whose head has broken off to remove sideways. Again, pull nails sparingly.
1. Get a spare handle, I really like the curved handle
2. The magnet will eventually fall out.
3. There is no better way (other than an air nailer) to nail overhead soffits etc than with these lighter hammers. The swing speed on this hammer is FAST...... and easy to stay accurate all day.

Summary: The best thing since my first hammer
Comment: I have used a 22 oz. Fatmax framer since I was 17, and never thought titanium hammers were worth much, considering the cost, until I started working with my current employer, a barn builder, who will use nothing else. After a few days of comments along the lines of, "Your hammer is so slow," and, "Your elbow is going to fry," (we drive all our fasteners by hand, by the way - all the climbing and moving among other things) as well as the numb sensation from my right elbow down, I thought, "what the heck?" and bought me one.
After a few weeks, I'm spoiled rotten!
Having a full sized hammer weighing only 14 oz. lets me swing a lot faster, with less effort. I highly recommend one to anyone that uses a hammer as a regular part of life; if for no other reason than it's lighter to carry on your belt!
There are two cons that I would like to point out. One is unique to the tool, the other general to the material used.
First, the magnet for the one-hand nail starter slot is really too far back towards the claw, making nail 'flip-out' an annoying something extra to have to watch out for. Not a deal-breaker, just mildly annoying.
Second, Titanium is harder than steel and this, of course, means it is more brittle. So, both the face and the claw wear out faster. Don't expect to buy one and use it for the rest of your life. I'll drive over 500 nails a day for several days a week with mine, and expect to get 2 years out of it, at the outside. Not that it'll be useless, just enough that I'll retire it and get another.
Next time maybe one with a replaceable steel face, for comparison.

Summary: Great gift
Comment: We bought this as a gift to a friend of ours who is helping us build a house. My husband has a steel Stiletto and our friend was impressed so we bought him a titanium Stiletto. He is very happy with it and has bragged to his friends about it. Price and performance is excellant

Summary: Amazing
Comment: I was skeptical that this light weight would do the job but it does and does it well. Liked it so well I bought the finishing hammer.
